Throwing the points
Title:  Throwing the points
Description:  We've all watched this part, throwing the points. The breakman on the left is laying down the last segement of cog for the run up into the passing siding. These guys worked quickly, but carefully. They had a sand pail and used it several times. They dressed in layers and took layers off as we decended. It was about 45 degrees at the base station.

Throwing a switch
Title:  Throwing a switch
Description:  Pouring antifreeze in the cog. On the way up we had two brakemen. Usually there is only one. We needed two so each one could hold a broom on the rail to clear the frost off the rail head. The white stuff is not snow, but frost. There was about 1/2 inch of it on the western face of the mountain we were climbing.

Agiocochook pushing the 10am
Title:  Agiocochook pushing the 10am
Description:  These locos use 1000 gallons of water getting to the summing. The tender holds about 700 gallons so they top off about 1/3rd of the way up. In this photo you can see steam coming out of the bottom of both sides of each piston. On the decent these are air intakes and the pistons are used for breaking. The decending speed is controled by limiting the air departing the cylinders which exhausts up the 'Y' pipe behind the steam dome.

Down bound
Title:  Down bound
Description:  We're crossing the switch on to double track. the box on the post is for the train crew to throw the switch. It is motorized. On the other side of the car from the camera is a building with solar panels on the roof. There weren't very many cells, I don't know if they could charge enough batteries to make this switch run with out 'shore power' or not. The Cog RR web site has an excellent series of photos on the switch construction and double track project at: http://www.thecog.com/construction.php
